Active clinical trials for "Hypoxia"

At our institute,during the first 2 hour postoperative, we used to give supplement oxygen via face mask in patient having lung resection surgery. After then if the patient is fine, we'll replace the face mask with nasal cannular untie the next morning. We hypothesized that oxygen mask can be replace by nasal cannular without any hypoxia.

The purpose of this study is to compare heart rate in infants who receive atropine as a part of their medication before intubation to those who do not. To be able to find out , we need to divided babies into 2 groups; group 1 : receives atropine + sedation + muscle relaxant group 2 : receives water or saline ( placebo group) + sedation + muscle relaxant Then we need to compare heart rate during intubation and duration of intubation between the 2 groups.

Infants will be observed in the neonatal intensive care unit for 4 hours. The observer will note the timing of oxygen saturation alarms, staff response, and interrupted staff activities.

Neonatal hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a serious neurological condition characterised by acute or subacute brain injury arising from perinatal hypoxia. HIE is thought to affect approximately 0.2% of live births, and is associated with a high risk of mortality or long-term neurological disability. Accurate biomarkers for long-term neuro-developmental outcome following HIE are extremely important both for clinical management and the evaluation of therapeutic approaches. According to a recent meta-analysis, the ratio of the cerebral concentrations of lactate and N-acetyl aspartate (NAA), two neuro-metabolites detectable with magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), currently represents the most accurate prognostic indicator of outcome following HIE. However, for various technical reasons standard MRS methods do not offer optimal sensitivity for detecting lactate, which may potentially be improved with a custom lactate editing MRS sequence. In addition, while perfusion has also been suggested as a potential biomarker for neuro-developmental outcome following HIE, due to a paucity of MR perfusion imaging studies in neonates, the prognostic accuracy of perfusion MR measures has not been evaluated in comparison with more established MR biomarkers. The aims of this study are: to evaluate the relative sensitivity of a custom lactate editing MRS pulse sequence (specialist software) relative to the standard point resolved (PRESS) MRS sequence for detecting lactate in neonates with suspected HIE. to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of MR perfusion measures in comparison to MRS measures as predictors of neuro-developmental outcome at 2 years.

The purpose of this protocol is to enable access to intravenous infusions of banked autologous (a person's own) or sibling umbilical cord blood (CB) for children with various brain disorders. This is an expanded access protocol intended for patients who are unable to participate in a clinical trial involving their own or their sibling's cord blood. Children with cerebral palsy, congenital hydrocephalus, apraxia, stroke, hypoxic brain injury and related conditions will be eligible if they have normal immune function and do not qualify for, have previously participated in, or are unable to participate in an active cell therapy clinical trial at Duke Medicine. For the purpose of this protocol the term children refers to patients less than 26 years of age. The cord blood is thawed and then administered as an intravenous infusion. Recipients do not receive chemotherapy or immunosuppression. The mechanism of action is through paracrine signaling of cord blood monocytes inducing endogenous cells to repair existing damage.

To determine the difference in baseline MR flow measurements and post-prandial MR flow measurements between patients diagnosed with CGI and patients not diagnosed with CGI.

The purpose of this observational research study is to examine how point-of care ultrasound affects the workup and management of perioperative complications for specific clinical scenarios of low blood pressure (hypotension), low blood oxygen (hypoxemia), in the post- anesthesia care unit (PACU).

ExoFlo, Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cell Derived Extracellular Vesicles Allograft Product, Infusion Treatment is currently being studied in Protocol DB-EF-PhaseIII-0001 in patients COVID-19 associated moderate to severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). This expanded access protocol is an open label study intended to provide ExoFlo to critically ill patients who do not qualify for the Phase III randomized controlled trial (RCT) because they Do not meet phase III eligibility criteria at current phase III sites. Do meet phase III eligibility criteria but cannot access phase III sites. Do not meet phase III eligibility criteria & cannot access phase III sites.

This study is an observational study. Investigate the relationship of oxgenation and lung regional ventilation and perfusion assessed by the indicator based-EIT method in the critically ill patients in ICU

Time to stable reading of oxygen saturation at the delivery room will be compared between two different devices.
